Hotels in Guilin

Quality Hotel that warrants its price

Stayed here for last night of a trip to China, and was worried about location, staff, and price after interacting with the very tourist-y area of Yangshuo. Didn't expect it, but the hotel was a really nice exception to the overwhelmingly touristy area of Guilin and Yangshuo. Staff are super friendly and genuinely nice, unlike other hotels in the area that feel like they are only there to nickel and dime you. Shang Restaurant is really good and there are plenty of other nearby options. The shops in and around the hotel are also great places to fit in some last minute gift buying. Really, really glad the Shangri-la provided me with an excellent end to my travels in China.

Very nice hotel near attractions

3.5 star hotel is very convenient walking distance to local attractions like twin pagodas and elephant trunk hill. Approx 21 - 26 Yuan from train station. 1st day the A/C didn't seem cold enough but finally worked well after 5pm. No issues after that. Reasonable room rates for the busy time period during mid April. Clean rooms and welcoming staff. TV only Chinese speaking channels. Beds are typical firm level and large enough for 2 adults. Smell of cigarette smoke in corridors but not in room. I don't know how they separate between smoking and non-smoking rooms because all have ash trays. Each room has a remote control clothes drying exhaust in shower stall if you need a small amount of clothes to be hand washed and dried for self service. Very nice feature from this hotel. Large selection of food offerings in buffet breakfast but doesn't change much during the 4 nights we were there. More of a brunch than a breakfast so you can fill up easily. Enough seating but quite busy and staff continue to refill trays so favorite items are never empty. No real typical western foods like pancakes and waffles if that's a concern for outside tourist. You may be surprised on seeing how much food Chinese people eat in one seating but it is normal. Cash down payment is returned quickly at checkout as they call representative to check room immediately when empty. Overall I will exclusively look for this hotel first before booking anywhere else in the future.

Awesome experience

FAntastic staff. Great menu in the roof top restaurant. .

A bit away from city center (30 rmb taxi ride). It's a quiet and cute cottage located in a small village. Staffs are very helpful and nice.
